Sorting through some old pics to try summon up the will to keep going, loads I haven't posted so thought I'd lash a few up, got one from every decade almost apart from the 70's and 80's. Must be some somewhere I reckon. Interesting to see the changes
not sure the age of this one, guess late 30's maybe 40's, can't even remember where I found it or who sent it!, Wheelhouse Mk1 maybe? Sorta fits as the original paraffin engine was replaced with the K3, which would have probably meant shifting the wheelhouse so maybe thats when Mk2 wheelhouse arrived
up on the stocks, sporting wheelhouse mkII
May 1962, lying in Aberdeen, nets drying. Wheelhouse mk2 still
Another courtesy of Billy Milne, Lying Whitehills, one of my favourite pics, managed to carve new name boards based on this pic,not sure of the date, late 50's maybe? maybe 60's? Nice example of a beccles coiler on deck for all you trawler model makers out there!
big jump forward to the early 90's. I've yet to find any pics from the 70's or 80's, but this time she's in Grimsby sporting wheelhouse MkIII. I quite like the green and white
Couple of years later, lying in Seahouses. Out with the green and in with the red!
1999 on a visit back to her old home in whitehills
Last 3 pics courtesy of dave-d at Trawler pictures
